In 1975 there were an estimated 250,000 lions on the African Continent. Today perhaps as few as 18,000 remain. Loss of habitat due to human population explosion, cattle herding, poaching and poisoning by the agriculture industry at the threats to this Big Cat.

The last male Northern White Rhino

March 20, 2018 christopherjgervais Leave a comment

Sudan, the world’s last male northern white rhinoceros, has died at the age of 45 years old in Kenya at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy. His death leaves the species functionally extinct, as only two females remain. Northern white rhinos used to be found in an area spanning Uganda, Chad, southwestern Sudan, the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Some 2,000 existed in 1960, but war and poaching drove them to extinction in the wild. Ignorance & greed lead to this tragedy.

Less than 12 Vaquita porpoise remain, fewer then 40 Sumatran Rhinoceros are left, the Yangtze River Dolphin is gone and the North Atlantic Right Whale population is crashing. How many more species must we lose before the world wakes up?
